An older regular at the skeet shoots has offered me his fixed choke Citori 20 gauge skeet with a set of full length .410 Briley skeet tubes for a thousand bucks. He's owned it for decades, and like all of his other guns, it appears nearly unfired and might even have a box with it.

I've wanted a Citori 20 gauge for years, ever since I sold my hard kicking, nearly unshootable 20 gauge Upland Special to a nice man at a gun show, I hope I never see again.

But can anyone tell me about the fixed choke Citori skeet models? Are they scarce or worth any more than a regular old fixed choke Citori?

I'm tempted, but for not a lot more money I could buy a brand new Citori .410 and have what I really want.

Condition??? If the gun is in good shape, He has offered you a great deal. All based on the guns condition, the skeet citori is a good gun. You will love the 410 tubes. not having screw in chokes does make the gun worth less, but not by much. John

I have a 20-gauge Citori skeet model from around 1980. I think it was the first year Browning put Invector chokes in them. It's not my favorite gun for much of anything except skeet. It has a blocky forearm and a high rib and the whole thing feels chunky. I often wish I'd bought a Lightning model instead of the skeet gun.
